  REPORT: CA Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record.

Chairman Rodriguez opened the public hearing and the following individuals appeared before the Board in support of the item:

Mr. Stanley Young, 500 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami, Fl;

Mr. Theophilus Williams 1391 NW 95th Street Miami, Fl ordinance;

Mr. Kenneth Kilpatrick, President, Brownsville Civic Neighborhood Association (BCNA), introduced members from various Civic Neighborhood Associations in the area who also expressed their support; and

Ms. Yvette McLeod, 5241 NW 30th Place, Miami, Fl.
Mr. Leroy Jones, 5120 NW 24th Avenue, Miami, Fl, informed the Board that the Neighbors and Neighbors Association (NANA) had $8 million in housing funds and eight properties under construction. He stated that these projects could not be completed without an extension. Mr. Jones expressed concern that the District Commissioner had not yet approved the extension and mentioned that he would return to address this housing issue further.

Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing ordinance, as presented.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins expressed her support for the proposed ordinance but raised concerns about the steps needed to adequately inform the community. She noted that residents who had provided testimony requested more detailed information to help them assess whether incorporation was the right choice for their community. Commissioner Cohen Higgins inquired how she could ensure that the residents received the necessary information to make an informed decision.
In response, Commissioner Bastien explained that a recent meeting held to discuss the North Central Dade Municipal Advisory Committee (MAC) had been attended by over 100 residents who discussed key issues, with staff available to answer questions. She acknowledged that this item had been extended previously, but there was now renewed interest in learning more about incorporation. Commissioner Bastien expressed her support for the legislation and noted her commitment to working with the community throughout the process.

Commissioner Regalado pointed out the importance of considering the time these conversations took. She suggested establishing deadlines for action items from the MACs, as the election of a new commissioner after a 8-year term reset many processes. She pointed out that this was a procedural issue to keep in mind moving forward, especially given the impact of term limits on commissioners.

Commissioner Gilbert III voiced his support for extending the MAC, pointing out that it was a citizen-driven process. He stated that while the sitting commissioner played an important role, they were not the determining factor. He agreed that citizens should have been provided with the information they requested and that it was ultimately up to them to decide whether to move forward with the process.

Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing ordinance, as presented.

  REPORT: Commissioner Regalado expressed her concern regarding dealing with the transit deficit, and suggested asking municipalities to provide more connectivity. She expressed further concern regarding retroactive approvals and route changes and suggested taking a form agreement that considered future changes and to have the municipalities connect with one another and the county. Commissioner Regalado suggested amending the resolution to make a change to overhaul agreements with municipalities.

Commissioner Cabrera expressed concern regarding the length of time it took to execute the agreements.

In response to Commissioner Cabrera�s concerns, Mr. Diaz explained that staff had worked on multiple agreements with various municipalities to ensure collaboration with the Better Bus Network (BBN). He also clarified that the delay was due to extensive legal modifications required after the implementation of the BBN.

Commissioner Cabrera stated that a six-year delay was unacceptable and asked if any other agreements were similarly delayed.

In response, Mr. Diaz assured the Board that staff would work diligently to finalize the nine (9) pending agreements. He also stated he would provide Commissioner Cabrera with more detailed information on the specific duration of the delays for each agreement.

Mr. Jimmy Morales explained that all agreements with the operating municipalities were being updated because the County no longer had access to data for the municipalities' trolleys under the older agreements. He clarified that, as part of BBN, the County and municipalities had coordinated their routes to prevent buses and trolleys from overlapping. While these updates offered significant advantages, he noted that they had caused some delays in the process.

Hearing no further questions or comments the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as presented.

Resolution R-58-25

Absent: Rodriguez
  REPORT: At the request of Commissioner Bermudez, Ms. Amanda Kinnick explained the intent of the foregoing resolution. She clarified that the original contract advertisement included community workforce planning goals. However, following the passage of House Bill 705, small business measures could no longer be included in construction contracts. As a result, to comply with the new state law, the department had to reject the bid and proceed with a new solicitation.

Commissioner Bermudez expressed concerns regarding the bid process and asked for information regarding how many times agreements are amended, as this was too common of an occurrence. He noted that he would support the resolution.

Commissioner Gilbert III concurred with Commissioner Bermudez�s concerns and emphasized the need for policies ensuring transparency in bidding. He warned against entities deliberately underbidding projects only to later request amendments, knowing that once a project begins, it becomes difficult for the county to withdraw. To address this issue, he proposed implementing policies for allocating additional funds to projects and suggested incorporating liquidated damages as a safeguard, providing the county with a remedy in such cases.

Commissioner Higgins made a motion to delegate authority to the Mayor to reject and re-advertise all bids without further action from the Board, for all construction projects where bids can no longer be awarded due to any limitations or preemptions arising under House Bill (HB) 705. Commissioner Regalado seconded this motion and, upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 12-0 (Commissioner Bastien was absent).

Further discussion ensued among Mr. Morales and Commissioners Bermudez and Steinberg regarding the bid protest process, change orders coming before the Board, and design bid-build processes.

Responding to Commissioner Steinberg�s comments regarding delivery mechanisms and design bid-build processes, Mr. Morales provided an overview of the delivery mechanisms used for projects. He explained that various mechanisms were available, with the administration selecting the approach that would yield the best results.

Chairman Rodriguez relinquished the chair to Vice Chairman McGhee.

Commissioner Regalado pointed out the need for greater scrutiny of vendors with a history of submitting low bids followed by change orders. She cautioned the board against delaying projects but recommended directing staff to investigate whether certain businesses exhibit a pattern of this behavior.

Hearing no further questions or comments the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as presented.

  REPORT: Commissioner Bermudez supported the resolution but questioned why a one-week delay would be detrimental, despite acknowledging the urgency of the agreement.

Commissioner Regalado clarified that while this legislation would impact the waste management system, it was important to finalize the agreements and order the necessary equipment to begin operations in June. She emphasized that this was not the sole solution, but part of a broader strategy, which would be discussed in a future meeting. Commissioner Regalado further explained that any delay in finalizing the agreements would have postponed obtaining the equipment.

Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as presented.

  REPORT: Senator Garcia expressed his concern about a high value contract being awarded without a bid.

Ms. Uppal explained that Florida Statute Chapter 4.13 mandated counties and cities to purchase these types of services from entities authorized by the State. She advised that the selected authorized entity for providing janitorial services was the Florida Association of Rehabilitation Facilities, Inc. (RESPECT of Florida �ROF�). Ms. Uppal noted that ROF operated centers across various counties, with two local centers, one of which was Goodwill, providing janitorial services through the employment of individuals with disabilities.

Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as presented.

  REPORT: Commissioner Gilbert III expressed general support for aerospace technology but raised concerns about the implications of designating land as �spaceport territory.� He pointed out that such a designation could interfere with future development plans for the Miami Executive Airport. Commissioner Gilbert III indicated that while the Board did not wish to be preempted, this proposed designation would limit Miami-Dade County�s ability to control the future use of that area.

Commissioner Gonzalez explained the intent of the proposed resolution. He clarified that while discussions around space technology often focused on aerospace launches, there were many other related technologies that did not involve launches. He referenced a $500 billion federal infrastructure investment announced by President Trump, aimed at advancing Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, which he noted was closely connected to space technology.

Commissioner Gonzalez pointed out that designating a site as a spaceport did not mean it would host aerospace launches. Instead, such a designation opened the door to financial incentives and reimbursements from both state and federal governments. He added that all land adjacent to a designated spaceport would also benefit from these incentives. Finally, he highlighted the importance of aligning airport development with youth education and job creation initiatives and that no space launches would be occurring.

Commissioner Gilbert III clarified the designation was not for aerospace launches but expressed concerns that it would allow Space FL to expand or reduce the area without BCC approval, potentially overriding the Board's will. He objected to granting the State of Florida decision-making power over an important area of Miami-Dade County, despite acknowledging the legislation could drive technology and AI development.

In response to Commissioner Gilbert III�s concerns, Senator Garcia clarified that he had held discussions with Space Florida regarding the matter and explained that the proposed restrictions would only be applicable if there was an established base or if there were plans for aerospace launches at the site. Senator Garcia pointed out that this designation would allow for the application of funding to support the redevelopment of the area, positioning Miami-Dade County as a leader in aerospace technology, and ensuring it remained competitive in the field. He acknowledged that Commissioner Gilbert III�s concerns were valid but noted that the restrictions would only apply in the event of an aerospace launch site being established. Additionally, Senator Garcia requested to be listed as a Co-Prime Sponsor for the resolution.

Mayor Daniella Levine Cava advised Board members that approving this legislation and advancing with the projects would initiate a Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) application, as the property was located outside the Urban Development Boundary (UDB). She explained that while the property was under the jurisdiction of the county�s Aviation Department, some portions were currently designated for agricultural use, making a CDMP application necessary. Mayor Levine Cava also noted that property near the Homestead Air Reserve Base was being considered for inclusion in the aerospace program.

Following discussions with Space Florida and federal agencies, Commissioner Gonzalez confirmed that the spaceport designation would not authorize aerospace launches at Miami Executive Airport. Instead, the initiative focused exclusively on education, manufacturing, and job creation in space technology and AI development. He clarified that while Florida Statute 331.319 allowed Space Florida directors to make certain land use decisions, those decisions must align with the statute's objectives and remain consistent with the county's comprehensive plans. He note that the legislation explicitly prohibited aerospace launches to ensure the designation focused on technology development and employment opportunities rather than launch operations.

Hearing no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as presented.

  REPORT: Commissioner Gilbert III asked for clarification on the intent of the foregoing resolution.

Commissioner Gonzalez explained that the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) oversaw homeowner and condo associations but was overwhelmed and lacked resources to address Miami-Dade's specific issues. He noted that while the Legislature assigned DBPR this responsibility two years prior, the legislation lacked enforcement mechanisms for investigations. The Sheriff's Office requested investigative authority because current cases were treated as civil matters until they escalated to criminal activity�at which point DBPR's failure to investigate prevented the Sheriff from intervening, allowing some individuals to evade accountability. Commissioner Gonzalez concluded this local issue required local oversight and investigative capacity.

Commissioner Gilbert III requested to be listed as a co-sponsor.

Commissioner Regalado noted that before the Sheriff's election, these matters fell under the Department of Economic Crimes, which required substantial evidence of economic crime before proceeding, making the process overly complex. She expressed concern about expanding the Sheriff's authority without an approved Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or established communication framework with the Sheriff's office and urged the Board to consider future financial implications, as upcoming agenda items would detail associated costs in time and manpower.

Commissioner Gilbert responded to Commissioner Regalado�s concerns by clarifying that the proposal was a request for the State to assign this responsibility to the Sheriff and to provide the necessary funding. He explained that this would not involve the Board of County Commissioners expanding the Sheriff�s duties using funds from the County�s general fund budget.

Commissioner Bastien requested to be listed as a co-sponsor.

Commissioner Regalado expressed concern about the potential for this to become an unfunded mandate and noted that if a funding source were identified and it involved requiring homeowners to pay a fee, it could lead to an increase in their homeowners' association dues.

Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as presented.

  REPORT: Commissioner Cohen Higgins referenced a previous committee discussion regarding a private company that had been tasked with providing proof of concept that they had the ability to provide hydrothermal liquefaction technology. She asked whether a contingency plan had been developed in case the company failed to deliver the proof of concept.

Commissioner Regalado confirmed the item would be amended to require proof of concept by March 2025.

Mr. Roy Coley acknowledged this requirement had been discussed in committee but was not included in the original item language.

Hearing no further questions or comments the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as amended to:
- Change Miami-Dade County's contribution from $3 million in matching grant funds to $1.5 million in in-kind services, contingent on Provident Resources Group's Department of Energy (DOE) grant application being accepted for its hydrothermal biosolids technology project;
- Require AECOM Technical Services, Inc. to contribute $1.5 million in in-kind services as part of the DOE grant match, should Provident Resources Group's application be accepted;
- Change the County's contribution timeline to January 2026;
- Delete the requirement that the County be refunded $3 million in matching funds should the County allow Provident Resources Group to proceed to Phase Two; and
- Require submission of proof of concept by March 2025.

  REPORT: Commissioner Gilbert III expressed his concerns regarding the foregoing proposed resolution to condemn President Joseph Biden�s Administration for removing Cuba from the United States Department of State�s list of state sponsors of terrorism. He stated that while he supported the intent of the resolution, the Board traditionally condemned actions taken by a President�s administration, not the President personally. He noted that the language in Section 1 of the resolution appeared to condemn President Biden directly, which, in his view, could set a precedent for the Board to issue resolutions condemning U.S. Presidents themselves rather than the actions of their administrations.

Commissioner Gilbert III suggested revising the language in Section 1 of the foregoing proposed resolution to remove the reference to the �Biden Administration� and replace it with �the prior administration�.

Chairman Rodriguez requested to be listed as a co-prime sponsor.

Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as amended to remove the reference to the �Biden Administration� and replace it with �the prior administration�.
